Steps Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I noticed that the more pages my photobook the more memory is used during the PDF export. The memory demand increases on export with each page and does not fall back after that. With 15 pages the export needed 8 GB of my 16 MB ram. Now with 23 pages I can't export anymore because I've not enough memory. A good idea would be if the PDF export would not take place solely in memory but to stream the pages to the disk. This should free up memory during the process. I don't know if that is possible with Publisher in it's internal structure, but this is how I solved the memory problem on PDF export in my own software. PDF in general is a linear format that allows appending part to part on disk. Windows 10 Pro x64 (1903).

So we'll mark this one as resolved for now. Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steps Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 So it's intended that I can't export a PDF if I have not enough memory available? Windows 10 Pro x64 (1903).

Staff Jon P Posted January 7, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 7, 2019 No, however in the other thread you mention being able to export this file, are you unable to export it? Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
